Trump tweeted when it was released that the instant bestseller — which paints him as disengaged, ill-informed, and unstable, with signs of serious memory loss — was a “Fake Book, written by a totally discredited author.”

I’ve had to put up with the Fake News from the first day I announced that I would be running for President. Now I have to put up with a Fake Book, written by a totally discredited author. Ronald Reagan had the same problem and handled it well. So will I!

Khamenei posted the image days after Trump quit the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Khamenei has warned that Tehran will also withdraw from the accord, which was designed to rein in Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program, unless European signatories offer solid guarantees that trade relations will continue after the US withdrawal, and slammed Trump over the move.

In comments on Wednesday, Khamenei derided the US president, saying, “You cannot do a damn thing!”

Khamenei described Trump’s speech Tuesday night, announcing the US was quitting the deal, as having “over 10 lies,” without elaborating. He also said Trump’s remarks, which he described as “silly and superficial,” threatened Iran’s people and its government.
